Dear Mr. Victoria:
In your letter dated June 5, 2012, you requested a tariff classification ruling. As requested, the sample will be returned to you.
Your submitted sample, Style BBAG which you describe as an infant’s blanket bag is more accurately a sleeveless pram sack or baby bunting.

A fabric tab with a metal snap closure is located at the base of the zipper track. The item has floral embroidery and appliqué work on both sides of the garment’s front.
The applicable subheading for Style BBAG will be 6111.20.6070, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for babies’ garments and clothing accessories, knitted or crocheted: of cotton: other: other, other: other. The rate of duty will be 8.1 percent ad valorem.
